Collaborative Divorce

How Will a Collaborative Divorce Benefit Me? (Part B)

During a Virginia collaborative divorce, each side has a personal divorce coach. The goal of this coach is to help you to communicate effectively with your spouse in order to resolve conflicts. In addition to teaching communication skills, your divorce coach will also help you manage the emotions that often accompany the end of a marriage.

The communication skills you learn during this time will benefit both you and your husband long after your divorce is finalized. This is especially important if you have children, as the effects of a nasty divorce can last a lifetime for children of any age.

Financial Benefits of Collaborative Divorce

While divorce is never cheap, the financial benefits of a collaborative divorce may result in a less expensive process than a traditional divorce, because you do not have to pay a series of fees and court costs. While you must still pay the Virginia divorce attorney's fees, he or she will not be required to attend court or file legal documents.

Because you do not have to go to court to work out the terms of your settlement, Virginia collaborative divorce is typically faster than a traditional divorce. Statistics suggest that, on average, a collaborative divorce takes about 18 weeks until it is finalized; a quarter of the time it takes for traditional divorce litigation. This may mean less time away from work, or less money spent on child care for your children while you and your spouse are in court.
